Summary

This study tests a program called Tunawiri (meaning 'thrive') that adds mental health screening, counseling, and support to regular HIV care for pregnant and postpartum women in Kenya. The goal is to improve depression, anxiety, and HIV treatment success. Nine hundred women will take part, and researchers will track their mental health and HIV outcomes for a year after giving birth.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Collaborative care model (counseling, screening, and support)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide an effective way to integrate mental health support into routine HIV care, improving well-being and health outcomes for mothers and their babies.
What could go wrong: This is a behavioral intervention study, not a drug trial, so results may vary by setting. The study is still recruiting, and long-term effects are not yet known.
